I'm doing my part . . .

. . . to help stimulate the economy.
Yesterday a friend and I attended an antique show.  We almost didn't go because last year, it was very much like a flea market with probably half the people selling costume jewelry.  Not my cup of tea.  I don't know how the promoter did it, but it was a totally turned around with many quality dealers offering some great antiques at decent prices. 

I just love this little child's chair I came home with.  I see that a small hooked rug is definitely needed for the seat.



A little foot stool with a great patina also made the trip home with me.

This coverlet has some major damage, but it will look good folded at the end of a bed or draped over a chair.  It's the first coverlet I have with a dated corner block.

It has a wonderful eagle border.

I thought the bugle would be a great accent during the Christmas season.

Not old, but this stand is perfect on my side porch. 

Overall, I thought it was a great show and I'm happy with all my purchases.

Here's Mo on the couch and Loocie perched on the back.  Mo may be going to her forever home on Wednesday.  Yeah for Mo ~ a sad day for me.

The "Christmas Story" house is located in Cleveland, Ohio, and is open to the public.  As a way to raise funds for a local food bank, this Christmas tree leg lamp is being raffled.  Isn't it a hoot?

 

I hope everyone's week is off to a good start.  Thanks for stopping by and please come again soon!
Pug hugs :)
